“HSV, there’s no question about that, is the biggest part of my football life. But that doesn’t matter at all for these two encounters! It’s not about me or my past with HSV. It’s all about Hertha BSC,” Magath told Kicker before the explosive duel.

“There’s no question that Felix is ​​a great person and a great coach. He celebrated his achievements. But it’s not about us,” he said on Sky. “It’s about staying true to ourselves and doing what we’ve delivered all season. That we are courageous and that we simply have an incredible willingness and conviction with our own fans, both in Berlin and in Hamburg. And that we rock the thing.”

Are they the least popular because they are the best? Liverpool FC are winning everything at the moment, but have now been voted the most hated club in the English league in a poll.

Youssoufa Moukoko is considered one of the greatest talents in German football. Now his time with the BVB professionals is probably coming to an end. The striker is now sharing clear pictures on social media – and already seems to be saying goodbye.

Erling Haaland should have been happy about the reaction of the fans when he left BVB. The striker did not like the request to undergo a doping test after his last game.
